The review bombing is another fabrication:

It seems like a minor influx of recent negative reviews. Most likely they didn't want his current status in the public perception to work against the marketing push they wanted from him.

Because let's be real, "director of strategy" doesn't seem accurate for someone who is obviously just an influencer marketing your game to his large audience.

Had a look at Offbrand Games' games and none of them have recent review bombs. I really have no clue what PirateSoftware is talking about.

I'm not surprised he was pushed out for fear of such review bombs, but I'm not seeing any evidence of them actually existing as he alleges.

He's still financially involved with the publisher.

Don't review bomb them, just don't buy from them.

That's not the right thing to do.

There are more people behind the publisher than him. He's not big enough of a douche to make them all pay for it.

Impact is there, he got what he asked for. We're done here.

Sorry, but anyone taking up space in my pigeon brain is "big enough" to be petty. I don't know what qualifies as big enough for you though.
And just to be clear, I'm just talking about boycotting, not leaving nasty reviews or messages.

It's the right thing to do in my not-so humble option.

Elon Musk owns "only" ~~20%~~ 10% of Tesla and I would never buy a car from them because of that. There are probably hundred thousands of workers involved with the company.

Jason Hall probably still owns 50% of the company with only a handful of people involved. Why should I not boycott them?

Elon Musk owns "only" 20% of Tesla

I don't think it's that high.

kagis

12.8%.

https://www.investopedia.com/articles/insights/052616/top-4-tesla-shareholders-tsla.asp

CEO Elon Musk is the largest shareholder, with 12.8% of the company's equity as of Feb. 28, 2025.

I found my info at https://www.uamr.de/wem-gehoert-tesla/

Elon Musk ist mit 20,6% der größte Einzelaktionär von Tesla

Elon Musk is Tesla's largest single shareholder with 20.6%

I did not assume that his stake was this high, but I did not care enough to look for a second source. So, thank you for providing more reliable figures!

Enough with the pitchforks. Musk is a Nazi, Thor is just an idiot. There is a difference.

Boycott who you want, but don't make this a vendetta for life. Petition is through, Thor got what he deserved. Case closed.
